Assessment

CS use a combination of diagnostic, authentic, state-mandated standardized tests, and nationally recognized norm-referenced assessments to compare students’ progress over time with the school’s goals.  These assessments include:

• Northwest Education Association (NWEA) Measure of Academic progress (MAP) for Science
• i-Ready Assessment for ELA and Math
• Ohio State Benchmark Testing
• State Standardized Tests

In addition, Concept Schools have designed and use interim assessments that are aligned with the Illinois standards and mirror the state tests. Within a few days of the test, data from the interim assessments will be analyzed and uploaded to the online database created by Concept Schools. Teams of CS teachers will review the analysis from the interim assessments and develop specific strategies to address the students’ learning deficiencies.
